Shemp Lettuce Wraps (Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk)

Does everyone pronounce shrimp as Shemp and then do the Curly nyuks? I knew it.

So it's getting hotter outside and I purposely kept my frostbitten tongue silent all through this bastardly winter so that I could bitch about the summer heat and humidity. It was over 80 today, so let the heat-induced crankiness ensue. I did NOT feel like heating up the house or standing over the grill for dinner, so from my bitchiness these shrimp (nyuk-nyuk-nyuk) lettuce wraps were born.

Aren't they lovely? Little morsels of shrimp tossed with a scrumptious Asian-style sauce and crisp broccoli slaw all served up on a fresh romaine leaf and topped with green onions and crunchy peanuts. Yum! Screw you, summer!

Yield: 4 wraps (and I ate them all)
Ingredients:
4 Romaine lettuce leaves
8 Shrimp (size 20-26 or whatever you like) - cleaned, deveined, etc., (I cheated and bought them from the meat counter all ready for me)
2 green onions, diced
2 T peanuts, chopped
2 cups broccoli slaw (in the bagged lettuce section)

For the sauce:
3 T water 
1 T oil (I used olive oil)
1 T creamy peanut butter 2 T Hoisin Sauce
2 t soy sauce
2 t lime juice
1/2 t red pepper flakes (to taste)
2 t sugar (to taste)
1/2 t sesame oil, optional

Whip up all the sauce ingredients together and set aside. Coarsely chop your shrimp, discarding any tails or heads or bow ties or whatever else those little devils have on them that you don't want to eat. 
Toss shrimp and broccoli slaw with dressing. Split your filling between your lettuce leaves and top with peanuts and green onions.
